    So I just stumbled upon one of ernest’s comments about it. Yes, the polish instance is a play on words referencing a rifle. however it seems the original “kbin” name actually stems from unix’s “sbin”.

    I guess in the end it ends up being a double reference?

      Oh so THAT’S why it’s stylized as “/kbin” on kbin.pub. And why the logo kinda looks like a folder. Interesting!

      That makes a lot of sense! I really like that reference and how the logo is stylized as a forward slash
